Some time back media buzz was all about Ali's cheap remarks on people, especially women. His comments on anchor Suma too did not go well and he was adequately warned. To that effect actually it appeared that he mellowed down to single meaning dialogues in his shows too!

But then the other day in the show with Raghavendra Rao, he slipped his tongue and it hurt Samanta's fans! The actor was asked who would he prefer if he's hero of a film, Ali replied Samantha - Samanatha aithe sammaga vuntundi!

He immediately realized the mistake though and covered it up as saying Samantha's height would match with his!
